Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates as Josh Stein Wins North Carolina Gubernatorial Race

Washington, DC — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All-endorsed candidate Josh Stein won his race for North Carolina governor. As attorney general, Governor-elect Stein has been outspoken in supporting abortion access, joining an amicus brief on the mifepristone case, suing to defend public health providers that offer abortion care from attempts to cut off their access to public health grants, and more.

Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:

“Josh Stein’s win is a huge victory for reproductive freedom in North Carolina and across the South, providing a crucial firewall against further attacks on abortion access. Governor-elect Stein has been a champion for the fundamental rights of North Carolinians as the state’s attorney general and we’re thrilled that he will be continuing that work as North Carolina’s next governor.”
